QUEENS (WABC) -- Police in Queens are investigating a Thursday night crash that resulted in the deaths of two individuals, and injuries to a third. The driver, a 20-year-old male, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 19-year-old male passenger was transported to Jamaica Hospital and pronounced dead. A third individual, a 14-year-old male, was transported to Long Island Jewish Hospital where he is listed in stable condition.
